Make an IMPACT
The Bible teaches us that tithing is an act of obedience and that we should trust God with every aspect of our lives, which also includes our finances. Sacrificing a portion of our income helps us look beyond ourselves and makes us more aware of the needs of others. We offer many ways for you to make an IMPACT and give back. Take a look at some of the options below

Action Steps:
God’s commands are not about making your life smaller, they are about shaping you into the person He created you to be.
This week, ask God to show you where He wants to reshape your life, then take one practical step.
1. Recenter Your Worship
Identify one thing that may be competing with God for the center of your life—your work, success, comfort, approval, money, or even your schedule.
Begin each day by praying…
“God, You are my first priority today. Help me trust You more than anything else.”
Then choose one specific way to put Him first.
2. Repair One Relationship
Ask yourself:
“Is there someone I am not treating the way God is shaping me to treat them?”
Maybe you need to apologize, forgive, tell the truth, show honor, offer encouragement, or initiate a difficult conversation.
Don’t just think about it. Take one step toward that person this week.
3. Examine Your Desires
Pay attention to the moments when you compare your life to someone else’s or become consumed with something you do not have.
When that happens, stop and name three things God has already given you.
Then pray…
“God, reshape my desires. Teach me to want what You want and to trust that You are enough.”
